Every paragraph has a strange but welcoming obscurity to it, which makes a second read as good as reading a different book altogether. The days of careless mistakes that one could pass for have been put forward in a way that one feels the tingle of nostalgia framed with the question &quot;What could have been!&quot;. A phased transition from juvenile carelessness to adult reciprocation, met with love, illicit sex, lies, betrayal, suicide, maths, and mysteries at frequent intervals, is something that one can relate to. And to top it all, the ending just steals the show.Meerahttp://shayari.co.innoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32181667.post-24825853825907399092013-02-21T11:46:21.891-06:002013-02-21T11:46:21.891-06:00This is EXTREMELY late, but I&#39;m re-reading Pad...This is EXTREMELY late, but I&#39;m re-reading Paddy Clarke and I Googled to find the meaning of &quot;pruning&quot;, so thanks to Anonymous above!<br /><br />I can help with the joke though.

I was initially unsure whether I was supposed to take it seriously, but as it progressed it became more and more obviously a satire on relationships, fidelity and morality.

Abortion and women&#39;s right to self determintation are but two themes, the other being shame and how we treat those found guilty of a crime. I loved when Hannah realizes that shame does not create positive change in a person&#39;s behavior, rather it enfeebles them, making them feel like thee is very little they can do to improve their lot in life and that they are not worthy of love or second chances. <br /><br />I highly recommend both When She Woke and Mudbound.Francehttp://honest4goodness.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32181667.post-50043266588730286772011-12-21T19:24:40.326-06:002011-12-21T19:24:40.326-06:00Too often, Cleopatra, whose very image is lost to ...Too often, Cleopatra, whose very image is lost to us, occupies various stereotypes: temptress; gold digger; oriental despot.

I really enjoy working in a vibrant learning community, although students (like policemen) seem to get younger each year!<br /><br />It&#39;s been quite cool here, although our winter is very mild compared to some areas in North America. Our average temperature has been about 15 C (59 F). The temperature that you mention is about 37 C. Our summers can be quite mild, too, but with periods of extreme heat. The hottest day in Melbourne that I can recall was 46 C (115 F). That was in 2009 and is known as Black Saturday, as 173 people died in ferocious bush fires. It was so hot I hadn&#39;t put my nose outside all day. When I finally did go outside at about 5pm, the sky was cast with smoke and deep red. I looked at that sky and had a deeply felt sense that the world was not right.MargaretBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15898925000959588980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32181667.post-39963799028869474592011-08-12T16:02:25.978-05:002011-08-12T16:02:25.978-05:00Great!
